rita coolidge - higher and higher

Your love is liftin me higher, than I've ever been liftedbefore.

Your love is liftin me higher, than I've ever been liftedbefore
so keep it up, quench my desire and I'll be at your side forevermore
Now once, I was downhearted disappointment was my closestfriend
But you came, he soon departed and he never showed his faceagain

Oh so your here I finally found you, your that one in a millionman
When you ran your lovin arms around me I can stand up and facethe world again

Your love is liftin me higher than I've ever been lifted before(higher)
So keep it up, quench my desire and I'll be at your side forevermore (higher)
(Repeat x3)

rita coolidge - we re all alone

Outside the rain begins and it may never end
So cry no more
On the shore a dream will take us out to sea
Forever more forever more
Close your eyes and dream
And you can be with me
'Neath the waves through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone we're all alone
Close the window calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Learn how to pretend
Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear oh hold me dear
Close the window calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone oh we're all alone
Close the window calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out let it all begin
Owe it to the wind my love.

rita coolidge - a song i d like to sing

Na na na na...

There's a song I'd like to sing
Do you know the song I mean
It don't always sound the same
But it's always good the same

Anyone can say the words
Anyone can sing the tune
If you take a little time
I can teach this song to you

And we can get to know each other
Like a sister and a brother
Like a father and a mother
Like a woman and a man

We can sing along together
Just enjoy until it's over
It don't need to last forever
If we want it to, it can

Maybe it don't mean a thing
It's a pretty little tune
It's a song I'd like to sing
That I'd love to sing with you

Na na na na.....

rita coolidge - all time high

Rita Coolidge - All Time High

All I wanted was a sweet distraction for an hour or two.
Had no intention to do the things we've done.
Funny how it always goes with love, when you don't look, you find.
But then we're two of a kind, we move as one.

We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

I don't want to waste a waking moment; I don't want to sleep.
I'm in so strong and so deep, and so are you.
In my time I've said these words before, but now I realize
My heart was telling me lies, for you they're true.

We're an all time high,
We'll change all that's gone before.
Doing so much more than falling in love.
On an all time high,
We'll take on the world and wait.
So hold on tight, let the flight begin.

So hold on tight, let the flight begin.
We're an all time high.

rita coolidge - close the window calm the light

Outside the rain begins and it may never end
So cry no more on the shore
A dream will take us out to sea
Forever more forever more
Close your eyes and dream
And and you can be with me
'Neath the waves through the caves of hours
Long forgotten now
We're all alone
We're all alone

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
Learn how to pretend

Once a story's told
It can't help but grow old
Roses do
Lovers too
So cast your seasons to the wind
And hold me dear
Oh, hold me dear

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
All's forgotten now
We're all alone
oh-oh, we're all alone

Close the window
Calm the light
And it will be alright
No need to bother now
Let it out
Let it all begin
Owe it to the wind, my love

rita coolidge - my crew

Can I sing a song for you?
My Crew.
Like the song I used to play.
With you.

I was gone so long before you missed me.
I didn't even know I was a gypsy
I'm singin' this song because my eyes are misty
Because we're through (we're through, we're through), My Crew

There's that cross we'll cross again,
My friends.
And the song that we will play
Will have no end.

We'll sail a sea of song like a band of gypsies
We'll lay our burdens down and play for free
Laugh and cry as eagles die
And we'll be coming home, one day
Let the music play.

We'll sail a sea of song like a band of gypsies
We'll lay our burdens down and play for free
Laugh and cry as eagles die
And we'll be coming home, one day (one day, one day)
Let the music play.

uhumuhum, My crew.
uhumuhum, uhumhum, uhumuhum
uhumuhum, My crew.

rita coolidge - turn around and love you

Never in my life before
Have I ever cried
The way I've cried for you
Because you abuse me
To amuse your friends
And you use me
That's where your story ends

And I turn around
And love you, baby

Never in my wildest dreams
Even when I made believe
I knew I'd never own you
No, I've never really known you

But I turn around
And I love you, baby

And even though I can
Never really know for sure
What's in your heart
I'm gonna hold on

Knowing that you're
The hurting kind
And if the day ever comes
When you say you're
Gonna leave me

I would lose my mind
Every day and every little way
Everything I do or say
I do for you

But you abuse me
To amuse your friends
And you use me
That's where your story ends

And I turn around
And love you, baby

I turn around and love you
Oh, yeah
I'm always thinking of you
Oh, yeah
I turn around and love you
Oh, yeah
I'm always thinking of you

rita coolidge - love me again

I wanna say I love you
I wanna say I care
Even though you
May not feel the same
I'm not afraid to wait
Cause I know you'll change

Love ends
So love begins, my friend
Love me again
Love me again

If love were a road
I'd be walking
If you were still lucky
I'd be home

Obey your heart
And let me walk in
Open up your eyes
And love me again

Love ends
So love begins, my friend
Love me again
Love me again

Obey your heart
And let me walk in
Open up your eyes
And love me again

Love ends
So love begins, my friend
Love me again
Love me again

Love me again
Love me again

rita coolidge - i d rather leave while i m in love

I'd rather leave while I'm in love
while I still believe the meaning of the word
I'll keep my dreams and just pretend
that you and I are never gonna end

Too many times I've seen
the rose die on the vine
somebody's heart gets broken
usually it's mine
I don't want to take the chance
of being hurt again
and you and I can't say good-bye

So if you wake and find me gone
oh baby carry you see I need my
fantasy I still believe it's best
to leave while I'm in love

Too many times I've seen
the rose die on the vine
somebody's heart gets broken usually
It's mine I don't want to take
the chance of being hurt again
and you and I can't say good-bye

So if you wake and find me gone
oh baby carry on you see I need my
fantasy I still believe it's best to
leave while I'm in love I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love

rita coolidge - one fine day

One fine day
You?ll look at me
And you will know our love
Is really meant to be
One fine day
You?re gonna want me for your girl

Arms I long for
Will open wide
And you?ll be proud to have me
Standing by your side

One fine day
You?re gonna want me for your girl

Though I know
You?re the kind of boy
Who only wants to run around
I?ll keep waiting
And someday, darling
You?ll come to me
When you want to settle down

One fine day
We?ll meet once more
And then you?ll want the love
You threw away before

One fine day
You?re gonna want me for your girl

You?re gonna need loving
You?re gonna want my loving

One fine day
You?ll look at me
And you will know our love
Is really meant to be
One fine day
You?re gonna want me for your girl

You?re gonna want my loving
You?re gonna need loving

rita coolidge - the jealous kind

Don't be angry if I seem rude each time we meet
Someone that you once knew
That you say used to be so close to you
It's just that I'm so afraid
Someone might steal you away
I'd lose my mind
And I can't help myself, the way I feel sometimes
I'm the jealous kind

It was alright when I first met you
I didn't mind
But now things have changed
I'm just not the same and now I find
I want you all to myself
I don't want to share you with nobody else
You must forgive me, for the way I act sometimes
I'm the jealous kind

If you only knew how much it hurts to hear you say
How you can't forget
That before we met, those were the good old days
Why must you hurt me so
I can't take it no more

And I'm really tryin'
And I can't help myself, the way I act sometimes
I'm the jealous kind

I'm the jealous kind

rita coolidge - the way you do the things you do

You got a smile so bright
You know you could've been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could've been a handle

The way you sweep me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know you could've been perfume

(CHORUS)
Well, you could've been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do)
The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do)

Oh, baby, pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks can cause a minute
You know you would've be an hour

The way you stole my heart
You know you could've been a con crook
And, baby, you're so smart
You know you should've been a schoolbook

(CHORUS)

You made my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And, baby, you're so sweet
You know you could've been some honey

(CHORUS)

You really sweep me off my feet
(The way you do the things you do)
You made my life complete

You made my life so bright
(The way you do the things you do)
You make me feel all right

The way you do the things you do
(The way you do the things you do)

rita coolidge - you

I can't remember when I've felt this high
Must be something special about the way you're loving me tonight
You know that I can't remember when I've felt this right
Loving you the way I do
Has made me feel like a shooting star
Shining bright and shining far
And I wonder how I ever got alone

Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about it's true
Baby it's you
I'm talkin about you

I was sitting back and watching my life go by
Until you came along and picked me up
Oh and now I'm starting out a brand new life
And ev'rything I say and do is all because of you boy
You've given me a new joy
and I wonder how I ever got alone

Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about it's true
Baby it's you
I'm talkin about you

Now I'll never have to sit around and cry no more
Baby ever since you walked in through my door
And now I know as long as I have you
I'll always know that ev'rything that's good and new
Is all because of you boy
You've given me a new joy
And I wonder how I ever got alone

Without you
There's something very special about you
You're all I ever think about it's true
Baby it's you
I'm talkin about you

rita coolidge - fool that i am

Oh, I tried to make the best of
All the sweet love that you gave me
Maybe I'm crazy but
I keep on losing ground

(CHORUS)
Fool that I am
Fool that I may be
When will I ever know what's true
And if I found out differently
Would I still love you

Two hearts breaking
Two hearts aching
Someone's taking
More than they gave

Trusting someone
Who has no trust in me

(CHORUS) 2X

Would I still love you

rita coolidge - loving arms

If you could see me now
The one who said that he'd rather roam
The one who said he'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment
If I could make you mine
Just for a while
Turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

(CHORUS)
I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can
Looking back and longing
For the freedom of my chains
Lying in your loving arms again

If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere
Through a lonely night
Dreaming of the arms
That held me tight
If you could only hear me now

(CHORUS)
